Percentage is based of 100

Really?

you payed 100 dollars last year, this year you pay 120 dollars, that is 20 more dollars, which equals 20 percent more.

Maybe everyone should be enjoying quad riding or yard work. Or camping.

A lot of posts on the same thing.

Just saying.

If you have 100 sleds and you give your buddy 10 sleds you gave him 10% of your sleds. Next year you give him 12 sleds. You gave him 12% of your sleds. That's 2%
last year you gave him 10 sleds, this year you gave him 12 sleds. That is 20% more sleds.

lets say you make 10 dollars an hour. Your boss gives you a 20% raise, how much money will you now earn?

Ok so from $10 to $12 is a 20% increase. But if your making $10 a hour and you get a 2% raise you are now making $10.20 per hour.

exactly. If I only had to pay a 2% more tax's I would pay $10.20. But if I have to pay $12 then I am paying 20% more.

Yes 2% of $10 is 20%. Now we're talking taxation here. They are not increasing taxes 2% on every 10$ u make they are taxing let's say your gross income. Say 100000. So that works out to 120000. Which is 12%. 2000 more then 10%. If they were taxing 20% well u figure it out

There are 3 completely different things going on in this equation that people get confused with.

1st, $100 dollars is the amount of profit the company has made. That is a stable number. Nothing changes in the math equation.

2nd is the amount of tax that must be paid, previously it was 10%, now 12% which is an increase of 2 percentage points, or as your accountant like to say an increase of 2 points.

3rd is the actual amount of money which has to be paid. Previously $10 was paid. Now $12 must be paid. That is a 20% increase in how much you have to pay.

You just said baseline is $100 in your first point. Now your throwing $10 in again. If you make $10 a year then yes you are correct.
